Defending World Champs just can't get a fan base around here. Probably cause the Hockey and Basketball teams are kicking some aiss. And them dang Cowboys. I saw them hateful Phillies just swept our butts! I hate all Philly teams. Peace

 

I have a buddy that lives out there, I want to go check out that new stadium, looks awesome !

Please support your local team, They are World Champs !!!!

Don't worry, they are number 1 in attendance and nobody gives a chit about the D-Backs.  For reference:

Well they should, That wild card team swept your A$$ in the playoffs last year 

How many games do you attend on average in LA per year ?   Only been there once, for the GOOSE game, I have no desire to attend another.  I do get free tix from time to time, I will donate them to some GD.COM Dodger fans next time I get them.

Padres fans get the opportunity this weekend to boo Juan Soto, sad reality

I just hope he plays this weekend like he did when he was in SD.  Dude is currently on fire, 2 multiple Home Run games in the last week, having an MVP year.

On another note, Dodger game was on MLB network last night, I was very surprised at how empty that stadium was for a 1st place team that has the most fans in the MLB.  

Why did the Mexican take Anxiety pills ?    For Hispanic attacks....

Here is another stupid theory, if the Padres would stick to two uniforms versus 5 different ones, I think it would help.  Players are superstitious.  Change is hard for them, they like routine.  I also hate the fact that Petco fans don't look united due to everyone wearing different colors.  Go to Dodgers, Giants, or Phillies, everyone is in the same colors and the stadiums look amazin.........there is culture due to that.

Could be a stupid theory??

I agree, and definitely not a fan of our city connect Jerseys.  The Dodger fans are nation wide and they travel like no other. I have 2 cousins born and raised on farms in South Dakota, guess what, they are born and raised Dodger fans   San Diego is a melting pot, we have fans from all over the place.  Its a great place to live, but it sure is hard to be a sports fan here.  But, if youu are a Native SD peep, you gotta root for the home team and suffer with the rest of us.

What happened to the Padres last year is the same thing that happens every year.  The Organization is historically one of the worst in the MLB.  Its not  a secret, We finally had an owner with deep pockets and A GM that thought he could buy a team, well that's just not working out very well as we all know.  What it did do is bring a lot of new fans to Petco and give the city some glimmer of hope.

My worst pet peeve is San Diego Natives that are Dodger fans.  Wanna be gansters/followers, same with SD Raider fans. Ultimate Bandwagon, those teams were solid when we were growing up.  I was always raised to root, root, for the home team !

Yeah, that didn't take long.

 

And thus allowing them to afford Betts, Freeman, Shohei, Yamamoto, Glasnow, Toscar Hernandez, Will Smith etc.  Now watch them land Nolan Arenado before the trade deadline .  . .

I tried all the channels even 694-3, they wanted $100 for the season.  They don't have the sports package due to them being 85 yrs old.  It wasn't on ESPN either, I tried everything, even googled it.  You must have the Sports Package.

Great turn out by the fans last night, Double play Machado was impressive..............haha. Back to .500 already.

 

Every Dodger game is on in SoCal on every cable and satellite, thus the reason the Dodgers make a bazillion dollars on their TV contract.

Got it, My in laws are in OC, they cant watch any Dodgers games, and they are life long fans.

I was bummed yesterday, I went and saw my MIL in La Mesa, with all plans to watch the game, brought lunch as well................they have DirectTV, of course they will have it.  NOPE, not available.  Bush league TV contract.

 

Congrats on your May World Series win 

100 percent wrong !  I have Direct TV, every game is on  channel 694-3,  if she gets ESPN, then she also gets that channel.

Lets not even talk about TV deals, As LA is the worst when it come to showing Dodger games, That's a Fact jack!  All of my Dodger fans are taking another series lost hard, you are not the only one 

I just wanted to thank all of the LA Doyer fans for coming down this weekend.  Another easy series win for the Padres, and on another note, Thank you for helping us make history .  

4 consecutive starters go 5 innings giving up 2 or fewer hits.  Has not been done since 1893.  Our streak started Wednesday vs Chicago, then 3 more vs LA.   

The

@Padres

rotation just achieved something that hasn't been done since 1893

breaks out the black and white footage to honor this historic stretch in San Diego! #MLBCentral

When I was younger my mom used to beat me with a coat hanger, yeah the wire ones.  But she did switch to a belt after I was born.

Very sad news,

That is Amazing !!!!  Thank you for sharing

Different kind of ride Jim.... Pretty cool stuff...https://www.idahoextremeadventures.com/

 

I would never fly in a Robinson R44 again (pictured in add).  It felt like we were flying a beer can, I couldn't wait to get out of it.  I did not know the history of these until after I flew, it all makes sense.

Since January 1, 2000, there have been 165 people killed in 96 crashes involving Robinson helicopters in the United States, according to National ...

That looks like a super fun car to dune!  Congratulations !!

Only the rich kids in my neighborhood had the RC 10,  I was rolling with Tamiya Frog     Lots of memories, I learned how to solder when I was in 4th grade just to keep these cars running.

7.3's ride like a skateboard.  Probably the most overated truck ever built, but they do have a cult following.  Anything you buy will be a huge improvement.

He is a full-time scout for the Yankees.

Your opinion of Soto and Machado was the same for me until he told me otherwise.

Very Cool!  What is his name ?

Please ask him about my good friends Son that was drafted in the 4th round last year.

Anthony Hall, Played HS ball in SD at Point Loma, then played at Oregon.  Plays corner OF, throws right, hits left

Sure, but he went 3 for 4 last night (2 doubles and a HR) and has had at least 2 hits in his last 5 games . . .

2 doubles, 1 HR, and only 1 RBI, that's hard to do.  No Base runners !!!!!

Dosent change the fact that he is a compulsive liar that loves to Gamble.

I was talking to a friend that is a full-time scout in MLB, we were talking about the Padres.  We talked about the players, he said the biggest issue with the Padres is the culture.  Too many players from south of the border (I.e. Tatis) that were raised in Baseball and only think of themselves.  They don't make any effort to be part of a "team".  He also said the Padres aren't the only team with these issues.  I asked if Machado fit this bill, he said NO.  It was very interesting to say the least.  

Now every time I see a Tatis Highlight in anyway, it is him celebrating in a very "Me" only way?  Media portrays this big time.

What team is your friend a scout for ?  My friend Darnell Coles is the hitting coach for the Nationals, always fun to talk to him and find out about players.  He was with the Brewers when Ryan Braun got popped for PEDS.  I have personally met Ryan, I hated him until I met him, cool dude.  He has some great stories about Barry Bonds also.

Juan Soto is the Ultimate selfish player!!  Machado has never been a leader of men, He is and will be the reason we never win a ship until he is gone,  Machado fits the Selfish narrative to a T!   I blame Preller for that, He is way over paid also.  Tatis is a fan favorite, he gets the crowd hyped up and appears to love the game, super fun to watch.

Ohtani is Guilty and Selfish!

Good sleep comes after a good pounding!  Put in the work fellas, then sleep like an Alpha that you used to be
